Relaxing in San Fran and a little play with HDR
It is now mid day 4 of my vacation here in San Fran and the last two days have been pretty relaxing so far. I got to hang out with mjw and jrrs a bit and got a belly full of yummy sea food and sushi for my birthday. I figure tomorrow I will do some random touristy stuff just to say I did before I have to fly out Tuesday afternoon. So far I think this is a pretty neat city if not a tad expensive but I guess most real cities are more expensive than home.
So I figured that I’d play around with taking a few pictures today while doing the relaxing thing, and the above is a 2 image ‘HDR’ composite of the view out of one of the windows of my gracious host’s apartment. I think it came out better than the 3 image version so I left the light mask off. This was taken with my Lumix DMC-FZ7 using a stack of hockey pucks as a tripod. The original image, and a larger copy of the composited version is on my flickr photostream. Hopefully tomorrow when I do the tourist thing I’ll grab a handful more snaps so I have some actual proof that I was here other than a credit card bill.
